-Speaking of power plays, the Devils had 6 power plays and couldn't finish on any of them, including a double-minor in the first period.

Now, what actually matters:

The Devils fully woke up after the Richards goal and began to take the game over. 4 goals in even-strength play on Martin Biron. 39 shots on net, with only 14 shots against. The Devils did not dump and chase the entire game, they actually carried the puck into the zone at times and crashed the net to great success - and were unfortunate to light up back-up Antero Niittymaki. The defense was absolutely solid, the penalty killers were good after the first power play against, and the offense was threatening all night long. The game featured a number of firsts: Dainius Zubrus' first goal as a Devil, Rod Pelley's first ever NHL goal, and Martin Brodeur was solid in what little he faced in earning his 499th career win. The Devils finished their checks, the finished off the Flyers, and played a solid three periods of hockey. After a terrible loss, this is exactly what good teams are supposed to do - they respond to a bad loss with a strong win.
